Who is the Supreme Commander of Ionia during Conflicts?

The Supreme Command of Ionia: Irelia or Karma?

Irelia has more experience on the battle field. Although Karma is there to resolve conflict, Irelia has the support of the army of Ionia due to her not only her own victories, but also the victories of her father and brother. I hope her brother becomes a character in the future O.o

Neither, actually. Irelia's brother has supreme command over Ionia. Irelia is captain of the guards, but still takes orders from her brother, who took their father's place when he died.

While we have a decision (which very much implies Zelos is alive) until concrete details on what happened appear the question seems reasonable. I'd say that Irelia would be in direct command whereas Karma could potentially overrule her. Sort of like how the President of the U.S. is technically commander in chief but in practice allows his generals to make most decisions.

I think this might be a case of duel leadership right now. Irelia is keeping her eyes for foreign threats from Bildgewater pirates and Noxus, while Karma is dealing with domestic disputes, such as the sudden rise of Syndra.

I've noticed that the face of Ionian society has been changing quickly ever since Noxus left. Now that their influence has been pushed off the isles, previously unknown threats like Zed, Syndra, and Varus are suddenly coming to the forefront. Noxus' invasion may have been inadverdently keeping them under the radar, but now Ionia is beginning to show cracks in it's society. The war unified the country, but will Karma and Irelia be able to keep the peace until Zelos returns?

since ionia is all about balance, i dont think there will be one "supreme" decision maker.
everyone's opinion will count. karma the duchess would be more knowledgeable with politics and foreign relation while irelia is more knowledgeable of battle and tactics..
